The long awaited Nintendo Direct is just a few minutes away from going live! We’ve been promised a 45 minute presentation about what’s up and coming on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, and the Nintendo Switch – and we’re incredibly hopeful that we’ll be getting some new details on Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon! We’ll be updating this post with any Pokémon relevant live updates down below (be sure to refresh this post), and make posts about any heavy hitting news shortly after! Sit back, relax, and join us in the comments for today’s Nintendo Direct!

Oh boy Samus Returns is actually good, I’ll have to buy it now at one point.

That’s like, in two days.
Going to review purchases though, already need to spent 2K on uni related things and can’t really afford to buy another game until my birthday has hit.
Watching YGS 100 to pass time
This bitch disturbing me while I am ready for direct………..I will kill this bitch
Mind your language 😉

Just be respectful about people, okay?
OR DAE WILL SMASH YOU WITH HIS MIGHTY BANHAMMER, right?
I’ll probably delete the offensive posts first.
Dude I am talking about mosquito? ……….Earthen call his gf bitch and nobody talk to him ………this is racism against demons I can’t accept that.
When he does I’ll tell him the same, but if you’re talking about mosquitos, using the word mosquitos can help a lot.
That doesn’t make sense ………..sarcasm is my style
I’m seeing a lot of people wanting Persona 5 on the Switch
Never gonna happen.
You never know 😉

Which stream is usually the fastest and most stable for directs? I wanna say the YouTube stream is usually behind, but i’m not sure
Twitch is the fastest usually, but it depends on your internet connection too.
The one Pokejungle links. Because Pokejungle is always right.
Pokejungle is always right.
Pokejungle is always right.
Pokejungle is always right.
Funny thing is that links means left in Dutch.

Nice avatar dude
If they don’t show AC mobile, the game is never coming out this year.

Did they absolutely confirmed that? They showed some Switch teasers during the 3DS Direct.
